You liked the freshness of it, c'mon try it and I said oh God, I read it three of four times and finally I said all right, I want you guys to organize a reading and I want you to be there to see how terrible this is not going to work at all, so we had a table like this, and read the script, and it was just great.

I don't have too many plans filled out. I know I want to keep doing more music. I've got a couple of albums worth of songs I'd like to put it out there. As far as movies, I just want to continue how I've been doing it: working with terrific people is certainly on my agenda, and then doing stories that interest me.

Jeff Bridges
Normally, we push away the things we're scared of.
Jeff Bridges
I don't have too much time to jam with the rest of Hollywood.
Jeff Bridges
Any role that big is going to be a challenge for any actor, but for an actor of a young age, it's going to be even tougher.
Jeff Bridges
Basically, one of the hardest things about being an actor is getting your first break. I'm a product of nepotism. The doors were open to me. I'd done several movies before I decided what I wanted to do.
Jeff Bridges
There's kind of a Zen aspect to bowling. The pins are either staying up or down before you even throw your arm back. It's kind of a mind-set. You want to be in this perfect mind-set before you released the ball.
Jeff Bridges
So I have this word for much of what I do in life: 'plorking.' I'm not playing and I'm not working, I'm plorking.
Jeff Bridges
I remember when I was a kid, with the acting thing, I resented it because, you know, you don't want to do what your parents want you to do.
Jeff Bridges
I'd maybe done about 12 movies when I decided that this was what I was going to do.
Jeff Bridges
I think we're all hooked, I feel my own hook-ness on immediate gratification you know. I want what I want.
Jeff Bridges
I'd done about 10 movies before I decided I wanted to make acting the main thrust of my career.
